So there is no such thing as 'unrated'? I don't know about video games, but in the US you can release an unrated movie. Good luck finding anyone to show it or stock it in a rental store, but you can do it. Pretty sure video games through the internet can be unrated.

East to do- provide ID proving you're an adult, buy the unrated whatever. I also really like the last sentence from Valve's comment. If someone fashions a Predator arm blade and then rips someone's spine out that way, well 1st they are superhuman and 2nd they were already f'd up in the head. I kinda doubt a game really had that much impact.
